If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:The Burgess Battery Company and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:The Burgess Battery Company, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

:The above is our form notice, but I want to say, not as part of a form, but on the basis of my views of many thousands of drafts over many years, how very much impressed I am by your very high quality article. I hope you will continue--other major historical industrial concerns need similarly careful treatment. DGG ( talk ) 05:17, 18 April 2020 (UTC) I apparently made a error, for I carelessly omitted a proper copyright check, and it seems that altogether too much of the material is copied and needs to be rewritten. .

The Burgess Battery Company moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, The Burgess Battery Company, needs a copyright check. I apologize for not doing it myself. . I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where it can be dealt with minimal disruption. until is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. DGG ( talk ) 23:16, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You can see more details by looking at the Earwig report. The areas marked in red are where material was copied from somewhere else. Other than the copyvio problems, this is a really great history, so thank you for writing it. Once it gets cleaned up to remove the copied material, I'll be happy to move it back to main article space. You'll want to read Wikipedia:Copyright violations to learn about our copying policies. In a nutshell, we are very conservative about complying with copyright law, which generally means writing everything in your own words, not just taking existing text and tweaking it a bit here and there. Please let me know if you have any questions. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:36, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Burgess Battery Company (April 20)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Portions of this draft are written in an informal or personal or non-encyclopedic manner, such as "Charles Burgess was no neophyte in the field of dry-cell batteries" and "This writer found no evidence that Burgess made a change to manganese-alkaline chemistry".

Please reword and resubmit.

It appears that the company probably satisfies corporate notability.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
